Improvement of Selected Strains through Gamma Irradiation for Enhanced Lipolytic Potential
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of the present investigation was to enhance the production of industrially important enzyme lipase by subjecting the wild lipase producing fungal strains i.e. Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus microsporus and Penicillium atrovenetum to various doses of gamma irradiation (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 160 Gy). The isolation and lipolytic activity of selected mutant derived strains is described in this paper. Among all the mutants tested, MBL-5 obtained at 140Gy of Aspergillus niger strain showed highest extracellular lipase activity (13.75 ± 0.15 U mL) while MBL-1 Rhizopus microsporus @ 20Gy showed the lowest activity i.e., 1.06 ± 0.11 U mL. A range of pH 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 was used to check the lipolytic potential of various mutants alongwith their wild type. It was observed that MBL-5 (Aspergillus niger) and MBL-2 (Rhizopus microsporus) showed enhanced extracellular lipase activity at pH 11 while MBL-3 (Penicillium atrovenetum) showed the highest extracellular lipase activity 22.53 ± 0.21 U mL at pH 9. It indicates a possible role for the MBL-2, MBL-3 and MBL-5 mutant strains in the detergent industry for the development of eco-friendly technologies.

Trichoderma species have been famous for production of cellulases with relatively high enzymatic activity. However, attempts to use their cellulolytic enzymes in the bioconversion of cellulosic wastes have not been successful because of high cost of production and low enzymatic yields. This study aimed to obtain gamma-induced mutants of T. viride with enhanced extracellular cellulase production...

Mutations induced by gamma irradiation are part of improving some important agronomic traits in crops. Identifying the optimal mutagenic dose is considered to be the most crucial step in trials and generating mutated genetic materials. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of gamma ray (0, 150, 200, 250 and 300 Gy) on some plant early stages traits and bioch...
